Patent CA-2310825-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SKRETAS EVAGELOS
IPC: A63F13/28
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: A ride which utilizes the real life, real time touch-sense stimuli produced by the ride's vehicle movement; not a simulator attempting to stimulate individuals' touch-sense through a series of simulated movements. The real movement or action the individual is experiencing is integrated with stimuli designed for the 4 other senses. This novel approach immerses the individual in an alternate reality illusion that enhances and/or is enhanced by the touch-sense stimuli produced by the ride's vehicle movement; hence, the realism of the alternate reality illusion is optimized by integrating the real life movement. Each real life ride can have an unlimited amount of themes associated with it by the design and integration of the alternate reality; the individuals may select a theme and/or level of effectiveness prior to the ride's cycle beginning. An example: a roller coaster ride fitted with the alternate reality apparatus.
